Yep, I am using this patch and it does list all max and 1x to 16x.. My 
CD-RW is 16x10x40.

I can buy. I always buy cd-r blank. :-)

========================
% ls -l ~/ | grep cdrom
drwxr-xr-x   2 mezz  mezz       512 Dec 20 13:58 cdrom/

% cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep usermount
vfs.usermount=1

% sysctl vfs.usermount
vfs.usermount: 1
========================

What else should I check on?
